Abstract: The torque sensor (1) outputs a signal from a first detector (21) which
corresponds to the rotation angle of a first shaft (3), as a first alternating signal
the phase of which changes in accordance with this change in the rotation angle,
via a resistance (26a) and a capacitor (26b) which function as a low-pass filter
and a high-pass filter. A signal is output from a second detector (22)
corresponding to the change in the rotation angle of a second shaft (4) capable of
performing relative rotation, elastically, with respect to the first shaft (3), as a
second alternating signal, the phase of which changes in accordance with the
change in the rotation angle, via a resistance (27a) and a capacitor (27b) which
function as a low-pass filter and high-pass filter. A value corresponding to the
torque transmitted by the first and second shafts (3, 4) is determined from a
phase difference correspondence signal the waveform of which changes in
accordance with change in the phase difference between the first alternating
signal and the second alternating signal.

Inventor: MIURA MANABU
IPC: F02D41/00
Filed: 2004-07-14
Abstract: An exhaust gas cleaning apparatus for an engine (1) has a NOx trapping catalytic
converter (12) and a control unit (20) for controlling an intake air throttle valve and a fuel
injection timing in accordance with an operating condition of the engine (1). The opening
degree of the intake air throttle valve is reduced to accomplish rich spike control. The fuel
injection timing is adjusted according to the boost pressure that develops downstream of
the intake air throttle valve (8) during rich spike control. Since the combustion tends to
degrade when the boost pressure changes during rich spike control, the fuel injection
timing is advanced more as the boost pressure becomes larger. This advancement of the
injection timing compensates for the combustion degradation and prevents the occurrence
of torque fluctuations when the opening degree of the throttle valve is adjusted during the
shift to rich spike control to improve the engine operating performance.

Abstract: A method for reducing interference within a communication system is provided herein. A receiver (100), and method for operating a receiver are provided. The receiver operates by utilizing a filter bank (103-104) to partition a wide-band signal into smaller sub-bands. Interference suppression takes place individually on the sub-bands (frequency bands) instead of on the wideband signal as a whole. By using interference suppression on smaller sub-bands, interference suppression techniques can be utilized with less computational complexity than when performing interference suppression on the broadband signal as a whole.
